There once was a boy named Jack who lived on a big farm. The farm was full of animals, including cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep. Jack loved spending time with the animals and helping his parents take care of them.

One day, Jack's parents took him to the abattoir. Jack had heard about the abattoir before, but he had never been there. When they arrived, Jack saw many animals, including cows, pigs, and sheep, waiting to be processed.

Jack was curious about what was going on, so his parents explained to him that the animals were being killed so that people could eat meat. They also explained that each animal provided a different type of meat, like pork from pigs, beef from cows and mutton from sheep.

At first, Jack was upset. He didn't want the animals he loved to be killed. But his parents explained that it was a necessary part of farm life. They needed to raise and care for the animals so that people could have food to eat.

Jack watched as the animals were processed, and he learned about the different types of meat that each animal provided. He saw how the animals were treated with care and respect even in their final moments.

After the visit to the abattoir, Jack understood the realities of farm life. He continued to love and care for the animals on his family's farm, but he also understood that they were raised for food. He felt grateful for the meat that the animals provided and was more mindful of where his food came from.

From that day on, Jack appreciated his life on the farm even more. He still enjoyed spending time with the animals, but he also understood the importance of their role in providing food for people.
